Penguins preparing for rough ice in Toronto

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The Penguins probably aren't going to be playing on the greatest ice when they move into the NHL's bubble in Toronto.

Toronto's Scotiabank Arena could host up to three games per day during the qualifying round, with games scheduled for noon, 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. The Penguins' first three games of the qualifying round are scheduled for the 8 p.m. time slot. It remains to be seen how the ice will hold up for that third time slot.

I asked Sullivan after Friday's practice about the anticipated ice situation in Toronto, and it's something the coaching staff is taking into consideration during training camp.
